Seasons Change...

... Feelings change... People change... I'm gonna totally age myself (meh) but remember that Expose song?

Gap jacket, H&M blouse, AE jeggings, Clarks flats (The Bay)

The weather, for starter, is definitely cooler. I think there was even rain at some point. But it's more than that...

My usual office, that I haven't really been in a couple of weeks decided to meet up after work today. After not seeing them for weeks, it felt really nice to spend some time together. And to me, as happy as the event was, what makes it poignant, though I don't dare tell them that 'cause I don't want them to think that I miss them that much (hah!), is the fact that there are changes looming on the horizon. No words spoken about it, but we all know, things will start changing real soon, and it'll be a big change at that. Heck, I'm not even there and I'm feeling it already.

I'm such a sap, aren't I? I don't care. To me, first of all, that's a good sign that I love the people I work with. And besides, there's nothing wrong with that, is there?

Oy, all part of change, eh?... And growth... And learning... *sigh*...

Rays of Sunshine

Since I started wearing stripes last week, can't seem to get it out of my system.

Gap shirt, BR belt (Outlet),
For Cynthia skirt & Ellen Tracy flats (Winners)

Today's outfit satisfies that. Plus, with the temp slowly (but surely) cooling off, I'm sorta feeling this pressure to get the most out of (some) summer outfits, hence today's outfit. Pressure from where? Who knows!

BR jean jacket

Strangely enough, I guess the skirt is too white to photograph today skewing the lighting and all (not that older pics are whole lotta better). Didn't seem to have that problem a month or so ago, hmmm...

Oh the problems of vanity... HAH!

Never Mind Today, Let's Just Talk About Yesterday

Today was just an average start of the week. Busy as heck! Bah!

And I was running late, surprise, surprise. Ok, not super late, but late enough that I just put on whatever. Mind you, not that it would look so different than what I've been posting here so far, heck, I'm pretty sure, it was still better than some of the ones I've posted here, but I guess I just couldn't be bothered with taking pictures. So, I thought I'd just post yesterday's outfit...

Jessica seersucker jacket (Sears),
Gap tank & boyfriend roll-up khaki shorts,
J Crew belt, AE sandals

Don't I look like I was ready to go boating or something? hehe And no, didn't go anywhere near the water. We actually went to check out the food truck fest nearby for lunch. O wait, I guess we threaded the sea of people to get to the food trucks we like. HAH!

It was pretty nice for a Sunday kinda' thing. The weather was just right. We got to try different food, all yummy at that. Coffee afterwards, chatting and people-watching. Then a nice stroll home.

Such a nice relaxing day. Nowhere near today's pace. Holding on to that relaxed feeling. Hopefully it'll sustain me for the rest of the week. Wishful thinking, I know... O well.. Is it Friday yet? HAH!

When Stripes Go Mad

It becomes gingham. No? hehe

BR button-down shirt, J Crew cord skinnies, Old Navy flats

Friday was just a craycray day for me. It flew by fast for sure, which was good 'cause brain was fried at the end of the day. All I could think of was where's the closest liquor store 'cause I gotta get me some wine. HAH!

Haven't had a week that busy in a while, ssshhhh hehe... In the end, guess that's a good thing. Brain juices had to swirl around every now and then, right?

On a Stripey Roll

Yesterday's striped shirt reminded me of my striped dress which I ended up wearing today. I figure, before summer fades away...

Gap dress & flats, belt (Winners), Tiffany necklace (gift),
bracelets: Expression (The Bay) & H&M (recent purch) 

Oh I know I can still wear this come fall (I can, can't I?) but I want to wear it one more time(?) this season, without any layering. My patutie did get a tad cold, thanks to the a/c at the office, and the unanticipated cooler temp outside. O well...

Oh and I guess it didn't help that I was practically glued to my desk pretty much all day busy with my new responsibility, which meant hardly any moving. Bah! Didn't think I'll be this busy *sigh* Wachoo gonna do...

Got the bow bracelet a few days ago at H&M. I've banned myself from shopping til eternity (ok, at least til the end of the year) but wait, wait, hear me out! Got this $5 card from the last trip and there was no minimum purchase required. So I thought I'd look for something really inexpensive, and found the cutest $6.95 bracelet! Well, isn't it? And seriously, after the $5 off, for what I spent on it, I thought the purchase doesn't really count. Does it?

New (Striped) Kid in Town

Actually thought I wouldn't wear this new striped shirt til fall because it isn't short-sleeved after all (it's actually 3/4 sleeves but I know you can't see that). Guess I was wrong.

Gap jacket, H&M shirt (recent purch),
belt & CK jeans (Winners), H&M flats, J Crew bracelet

So the fact that I was able to wear it today, although I hate to admit, means that it's not as warm anymore. Ay yah!!!

Getting really entrenched in my new responsibility at work, my brain's getting saturated with all kinds of information. Love it!

Quite interesting I thought to be seeing the same work from a different angle. I almost feel like a new employee again. Ok, not really. But definitely feels like the new kid in that side of town.

End of Summer? Booh!

It's in the air, I can feel it. Nooo!!!

Zara top, Tiffany necklace (gift), J Crew belt,
Gaultier jeans (Winners),
Expression sandals (The Bay)

Well, it is the end of August after all, isn't it? Nevertheless, it still feels a lil weird, while getting for work this morning for example, feeling the slight crispness in the air. But hey, it's still summer as far as I'm concerned. It ain't over til it's over...

This slight change in the weather, it's almost fitting, I suppose, coinciding with the (slight) change at work for me. Just like summer kinda' leaving us now, I'm also kinda' leaving (or just did) my current office/position temporarily. Seasons change...

And of course, first day away from my office, announcements were made for some major change ahead for the office. Cray cray!

Yes, changes, that's what it's all about...
